21 bool "Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers"
22 ---help---
23 Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
24 drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
25 of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
26 testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
27 known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
28 currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
29 uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
30 avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
31 testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
32 may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
33 in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
34 with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
35 (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
36 <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
37 <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
38 <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
39
40 This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
41 drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
42 scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
43
44 Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
45 falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
46 using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
47 cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
48 you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
49 drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

796 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
797 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
798 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
799 this).

801 If unsure, say Y.

803config MODULE_UNLOAD
804 bool "Module unloading"
805 depends on MODULES
806 help
807 Without this option you will not be able to unload any
808 modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
809 anyway), which makes your kernel slightly smaller and
810 simpler. If unsure, say Y.
811
812config MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD
813 bool "Forced module unloading"
814 depends on MODULE_UNLOAD && EXPERIMENTAL
815 help
816 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
817 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
818 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
819 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
820 If unsure, say N.

826 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
827 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
828 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
829 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
830 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If
831 unsure, say N.

833config MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL
834 bool "Source checksum for all modules"
835 depends on MODULES
836 help
837 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
838 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
839 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
840 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
841 others sometimes change the module source without updating
842 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
843 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

845config KMOD
846 bool "Automatic kernel module loading"
847 depends on MODULES
848 help
849 Normally when you have selected some parts of the kernel to
850 be created as kernel modules, you must load them (using the
851 "modprobe" command) before you can use them. If you say Y
852 here, some parts of the kernel will be able to load modules
853 automatically: when a part of the kernel needs a module, it
854 runs modprobe with the appropriate arguments, thereby
855 loading the module if it is available. If unsure, say Y.
